After the second term in the product is
brought to a common denominator it becomes

Explanation:
A. True: the graph of f is concave UP on

B. False: f (x) = 0 at x = 3, 1, while f (x)

does not exist at x = 2; in addition,
the graph of f has a vertical tangent at
x = 1. All of these are critical points.

C. True: f has a local minimum at x = 2

and a local maximum at x = 1; the graph
of f does have a horizontal tangent at
(3, 1), but this is an inflection point.

In drawing the graph

Explanation:
From the graph, f (x) as x .
Of the six given choices, therefore, f must
have the form
1
f (x) = a + bx + cx2 x3
3
with {b, c} being one of
{3, 1},

{5, 3},

{3, 1} .

Now
f (x) = b + 2cx x2 ,

f (x) = 2(c x) .

Since the graph has an inflection point at

x = 1, it follows that
c1 = 0 ,
i.e., b = 3 and c = 1. On the other hand, to
determine a we use the fact that
P

f (1) = a + b + c

= 1.

Consequently,

of f the x-axis and y-axis have been omitted,

but the point P = (1, 1) on the graph has
